Questão
Taking a relativist ontological perspective involves critiquing what features of research: (2)
Responda

Questão 8

Questão
A critical realist ontological perspective assumes:

Questão 9

Questão

Questão 11

Questão
A constructionist epistemological approach assumes:

  • Knowledge emerges from context and is thus local, situated and provisional
  • Retains an interest in understanding the trust, but in context
  • Aligned with empiricism, meaning it separates the observer and observed
